Bank and Corporation Tax. 
The town of Manchester this year 
receives from the State treasurer 
$39,613.28 against $38,512.34 in 1903, 
as its share of the corporation tax, 
while Beverly receives only $29,271.24, 
almost seven thousand less than last 
year. This distribution is part of the 
corporation tax, which is collected 
from the different corporations in the 
State and distributed on the basis of 
the residence of the holders of cor- 
poration stock. 
Besides this tax, the State treasurer 
also pays to each city and town the 
tax collected on stock owned in na- 
tional banks in other parts of the 
State by citizens of each city and 
town. The amounts paid on this 
account this year were: Manchester, 
$3,193.30 ; Beverly, $6,071.04 ; while 
last year the amounts were $3, 652. 88 
and $6,086.86, respectively. 
- The amount of the bank tax col- 
lected from Beverly this year under 
the system of collecting taxes “ from 
those cities and towns where national 
banks are located, on such shares as 
are held by people living outside each 
particular city or town,’’ was $1,969 97 
against $13,775.00 in 1903.
